Welcome to clocs, a range of hand-made wooden clocks by Barry Hankey.

All clocks are are made to a very high quality and are unique designs. They are made from hardwoods, mostly from South Wales, and entirely from sustainable sources. Many are made from fallen timber and a feature is made of the chemical reactions in the wood which produce unique colouring and shapes.
woods used to make clocks include
oak ash
yew pear
plum holly
apple maple
beech cherry
mahogany sycamore

All clocks are finished to a very high quality to draw out the graining of the wood, and are sealed with best waxes.
